Stories

So I decide about every 6 months that I'm going to start blogging. I'm very uncomfortable blogging, but I guess I need to get over it and start figuring this out. Everyone who knows me very well knows that I get a new idea daily that most of them go nowhere, but I love to talk about them. I just got back from New Orleans last week and I got a new idea while I was down there. I listened to all of the stories that people shared and the hope that they have and I was blown away. I thought afterwards that the world needs to hear these stories, but likely only a handful of people ever will. My desire is to help people tell their stories... well, tell God's stories. The Bible is full of great stories of how God moved through His people, but the truth is God is still moving in and through His people and those stories need to be heard. I am mentored by Hardy Clemons (known by some as the Baptist Pope) who tells me story after story that other young ministers need to hear, but only I will hear them. The world needs to hear these stories. My desire is to create a website that allows the world to hear these stories of God moving in and through his people. I would love to hear stories from little children, teenagers, parents, grandparents, the elderly, etc. I'd love to hear your thoughts/ideas of how this can be a reality.
